Climate Change Mitigation With Integrated Sustainable Farming & Conservation
CLIMATE CHANGE IN INDONESIA
As of 2000, Indonesia had 161 Mha of tree cover, equivalent to 85% of its land area and 4.0% of the global total. In 2001, Indonesia had 93.8 Mha of primary forest*, extending over 50% of its land area. In 2022, it lost 230 kha of primary forest*, equivalent to 177 Mt of CO₂ emissions. 107 kha of this loss was found to be within Indonesia’s official forest land cover classes and with a patch size larger than two hectares according to MoEF-WRI analysis. From 2001 to 2022, Indonesia lost 29.4 Mha of tree cover, equivalent to a 18% decrease in tree cover since 2000, and 21.1 Gt of CO₂e emissions. In Indonesia from 2001 to 2022, 96% of tree cover loss occurred in areas where the dominant drivers of loss resulted in deforestation. From 2001 to 2022, Indonesia lost 2.87 Mha of tree cover from fires and 26.6 Mha from all other drivers of loss. The year with the most tree cover loss due to fires during this period was 2016 with 729 kha lost to fires — 30% of all tree cover loss for that year. *Much of the primary forest loss in Indonesia according to the Global Forest Watch analysis is within areas that Indonesia classifies as secondary forest and other land cover (e.g., mixed dry land agriculture, estate crop, plantation forest, shrub and others). This is because the Global Forest Watch primary forest definition is different than Indonesia’s official primary forest definition and classification. Global Forest Watch statistics on loss of primary forests in Indonesia are therefore considerably higher than the official Indonesian statistics on deforestation in primary forest.
CLIMATE CHANGE & ENVIRONMENTAL
The climate crisis affects everyone. Women and children in vulnerable communities are taking the strongest hit, even though they are not responsible for it, but they live in countries that are at high risk of climate change and environmental hazards.
The World Bank reports 130 million additional people will be pushed into poverty because of climate change by 2030. Threatened livelihoods and competition for scarce resources triggered by changing climate put millions of children at increased risk of violence.
Women and girls are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to pre-existing gender inequalities and social norms. 45 million people worldwide are currently at extreme risk of famine and are one step away from famine and starvation. Over 160 million children live in areas of high-level drought.
Additionally, 920 million children are highly exposed to water scarcity’ (UNICEF 2021). Climate change must be addressed or the consequences will be dire. Droughts will become more intense, land degradation and desertification will increase, and the hunger crisis will worsen.
We believes that every women and children have a rights to deserves a safe, healthy and a sustainable future.
We are partnering with local communities on focusing the climate change mitigation and adaptation which will lead to positive outcomes for the wellbeing of women and children. We are taking concurrent actions to start strengthening local communities, build resilience and reduce global climate and environmental impact by permaculture
CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS
Threaten Agriculture & Fisheries
Heavy rains with an erratic schedule, occurrence of heat waves, increased flooding, and the introduction of new species of pests can threaten the condition of agriculture and fisheries in Indonesia. This is also very closely related to people's financial conditions.
Species Extincion
Disruption of natural habitats such as deforested forests, grasslands and coral reefs can cause thousands of species of animals and plants endemic of Indonesia to become extinct.
Health & Poverty
Infectious diseases, allergies, and asthma cases and pathogen transmission will become more common due to higher levels of air pollution. This will also affect people's financial conditions.
Extreeme Weather
A severe drought has the potential to cause drastic water shortages and increase the risk of forest fires in some areas. Rising sea levels can also cause flooding in the coastal areas of Indonesia.
WHY PERMACULTURE ?
      Permaculture is a system of ecological design as well as a global movement of practitioners, educators, researchers and organizers, bound by three core ethics: care for the earth, care for the people and care for the future.
 Permaculture integrates knowledge, experience, research and practices from many disciplines to restore landscapes and communities on a large scale. These strategies include:
A spectrum of safe, renewable energy technologies.
Scientific research and exchange of knowledge, information and innovations
Water harvesting, retention and restoration of functional water systems.
Forest conservation, reforestation and sustainable forestry. - Regenerative agricultural practices—organic, no-till and lo
Regenerative agricultural practices—organic, no-till and low-till, polycultures, small-scale intensive systems and agroecology.
Planned rotational grazing, grasslands restoration, and silvopasture systems.
Agroforestry, food forests and perennial systems.
Bioremediation and mycoremediation.
Increasing soil organic carbon using biological methods: compost, compost teas, mulch, fungi, worms and beneficial micro-organisms
Sustainably produced biochar for carbon capture and soil-building.
Protection and restoration of oceanic ecosystems.
Community-based economic models, incorporating strategies such as co-operatives, local currencies, gift economies, and horizontal economic networks.
Relocalization of food systems and economic enterprises to serve communities.
Conservation, energy efficiency, re-use, recycling and full cost accounting.
A shift to healthier, climate-friendly diets.
Demonstration sites, model systems, ecovillages and intentional communities.
Conflict transformation, trauma counseling and personal and spiritual healing.
Transition Towns and other local movements to create community resilience. And many more!
